Aliens, Grays, UFO's

post #1 of 55
Thread Starter 
Any other chewers out there take a shit when they see an image of a Gray?
Well, I know I do. Ever since I was a kid, I've had this facsination with aliens (particularly, Grays- or is Greys? fuck)... I had to read every book, watch every godamn episode of X-files, and check out all those "Sightings" and "Unsolved Mysteries" type of shows. The more interested I became and the more I knew the more scary and eventually terrifying these beings seemed to me. To the point of my having to sleep with someone in the same room (or same bed if I was feeling particularly scared) until around the age of fifteen.

I'm twenty two now and the fear has subsided quite alot, I would say. But my heart jumps upon suddenly coming across an image of a Gray's face. Once in a blue moon, I'll have a nightmare I'm being chased by them or rarely I'll wake up at night and remember an image I'd seen of a Gray and not be able to go back to sleep for a few minutes.

I remember once as a kid, I was watching t.v. late at night with my grandmother. The door swung upon and standing there, there was a silhoutte of a small statured person with a larger than human, oddly shaped head. I couldn't see the face or anything though, just this silhoutte. My grandmother gave a playful little yell and got under the covers and I did too, while laughing. We heard the door closed and no one was there. It wasn't scary at that moment, but thinking about it over time- it could have been something... or maybe my mind and years of minor drug abuse has twisted the memory into what I described when the incident itself was nothing like that.

So anyone else out there scared of aliens sometimes late at night? Or anyone been abducted? Or think they have?

I used to be pretty skittish of Greys, pretty regularly, as a matter of fact. Having the most fucked up nightmares of my life after seeing Fire In the Sky didn't help either.

But, it was around the time that fear was at its peak I rediscovered an old friend called Close Encounters. Haven't been afraid of 'em since.

And it still kinda bugs me that there aren't movies like that anymore, displaying the possibility that if aliens did land, maybe....JUST maybe.....the aliens aren't trying to kill us. The last one I remember (barely) is Mission To Mars....

I love a good alien invasion flick much as they next guy (yes, I lost my shit over that War of the Worlds teaser just like everyone else), but one still thinks how they've come to affect public perception of the idea of a species other than our own contacting us.

I never saw Communion and now I don't want to. Damn them Grays! I used to read up on that stuff as well and used to scare the hell out of myself in doing so. I used to take my blankets and go sleep on the floor in my parents room in the middle of the night. I'm compelled to learn about this stuff and then when I do I wish I could forget it. I nearly lost my mind one time when I read that they could go through walls and stuff like that. I figured I'm just not safe anywhere at any time.

I'm not as freaked out any more, but I get myself going every now and then. I picked up Fire in the Sky on dvd just before x-mas. I haven't watched it yet, but I will eventually. I'm sure it will freak me out all over again. AAAAaaaaAAAAaaaaaaaHHHH!!!

People who believe in aliens are funny.

Yes they are. Just the thought of something going up my ass just for scientific purposes just excites me to all get out...I mean scares me very much.

These Greys used to scare me a lot to. I got over them but sometimes late at night I think of the scene that was described earlier in the film Communion. I get scared turn on the television and fall back asleep. When I wake up my ass hurts.

Funny that you mention my roommate because I put things up his ass for scientific purposes as well.
post #18 of 55
I've never been abducted, at least not that I know of (heh heh... no ass pain for me), but this stuff can still be kinda creepy, especially when you're a kid in the third grade with an active imagination and a library card. I've always been interested in this stuff. It's probably why I like the X Files so much. But the whole "I believe" thing. I don't know what to think of that. I guess the bottom line is that I like to hope that the world/universe is a lot more interesting than it appears to be on the surface. If THIS (day to day stuff) is all there is, well, I think that's just kind of depressing. The whole idea of MORE extends to all kinds of stuff whether it be aliens, ghosts, or even religion. I've seen a few weird things over the years, doesn't mean I know exactly what they all were, but that's ok. There's a lot of strange stuff out there. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Inside are tons of photos and newspaper and magazine articles on the subject of UFOs, Aliens, and other dimensions. The place is nasty as hell and the roaches will play tug of war with you for possession of your deep fried burrito. Lots of weirdos hang out in here, all of them with stories to tell. Even Art Bell himself drops by every so often to sip a beer or two. What's weird about this place is the people who hang out in here. Turns out they all could double as extras in the film version of Deliverance, and somehow I found that more scary than the idea of being abducted.
I've been there, and I witnessed everything you mention, except for the roaches. I would swear that a couple of the regulars had grown up in a nuclear bomb crater. On my visit, Chuck Clark was there telling stories about his run-ins with the people at the "defunct" military base known as Area 51. He gave us tips on spying on the base, and we had a nice time cruising around the desert for a day after we left there. I got a nice T-shirt for my trouble and a decent hamburger.

Carl?

That's pretty harsh, but it's pretty funny too.

My mom has two cats. We had them closed in a room since we were doing some painting, but there's a really long closet that has two doors going into that room as well. I went through the closet to check on the cats and didn't bother to turn the lights on. The cats were fine and then I went back through the closet to get back out. At the other end of the *dark* closet it looked like there was a cat sitting on the ground staring at me. It creeped me the hell out and I made mad dash to get the hell out of the closet and upon opening the door and letting in the light I realized it wasn't a cat, but just some plastic bags and stuff. The way I perceived it though was freaky. I went back into the closet and saw the damn cat again. Spooky stuff. The *eyes* were just some rings on a target bag. It's amazing what the mind can make up and make you believe...

Then I left the closet for a 2nd time and a gray shoved a probe up my ass. And I lost 18 minutes of time.

Is it "gray" or "grey"? and was it 18 minutes of our time or theirs?

Midgets/dwarves frighten the urethra out of me, so I guess greys/grays do too. My logic rocks.

That's a good read. I'd say, even if one is not interested in the UFO mythology stuff, that driving around the mountains in central Nevada is a pleasant way to spend a day. It at least gets you away from the casinos and people for a while. We had fun with it, and scared ourselves shitless a bit at the base entrance.

Yes, very true... except I almost killed myself (literally) when we returned in October 2003 and hiked (and camped) Tikaboo Peak. The hike was BRUTAL. A mile up on a 45 degree grade with loose shoal beneath you. But that's not what did me in. I have Sickle Cell Trait and I am not supposed to over-exert myself in high altitude environments. Well, dumbass me did not take into account that the hike STARTS at more than 7,000 feet above Sea Level. So, in a nutshell, what happened is that I over-exerted myself on the hike, went into Sickle Cell Crisis and my vital organs began shutting down. As a result, I contracted collitis, injured my kidneys, spleen, and liver... the latter of which still has me on daily medication (15 months later) in order to try and fully recover from the damage. Doctors have told me that if I had not been dilligent about keeping hydrated (or hiked for another hour or so) it very likely would have been "Adios, Carl."

You see, there is just no limit to the depths of the Area 51 conspiracy.

It was 18 minutes of MY time. That's all that matters. I had plenty of nothing planned for those 18 minutes. And I'll never get it back.

Holy crap Carl. That sounds rough. I'll never bitch about my lost 18 minutes ever again!

That's some dangerous stuff. It's a good thing you lived to tell the tale.

I suppose the hidden forces on the base could have hit you with high frequency sonar waves, turning your insides to jelly. But only a conspiracy nut would believe in such rubbish...

Fun fact: the streetlights in downtown Roswell are shaped like alien heads, and their museum is chintzy fun. If you drive out to the airport, you can walk around in Hangar 57, which is a rather disappointing old hangar filled with engine parts.

I think it's more generally reflective of our race's xenophobic tendencies. It's cliche, but its true: we fear what we do not know. If a giant silver spacecraft appeared in the sky today's America we'd blow it out of the air without thinking twice.

I'd like to believe we're not alone in the universe, but the evidence is scant and dodgy. Not to make light of the first post in this thread, but if I had a dime for every yokel who'd claimed to have seen an alien/Elvis/the Virgin Mary, I'd be a rich man and there'd still be no proof of alien life.

Alien sightings are, by and large, the product of mass dissemination of imagery (the "Greys" have become a more popular sighting as more people have learned what they are supposed to look like) that unifies otherwise largely disparate and credulity-straining stories. The tale of "Grey sightings" is, in my humble opinion, really the story of the all-too-terrestrial desire to be noticed and unique. Thus, why 90-something percent of people who actually claim to have seen an alien hail from backwater, low-rent, white trash places where, for a moment, a man or woman can feel special for having an experience that sets them apart and that no one can affirmatively prove or disprove.

In many ways, the culture of alien abductions, sightings and the Greys is like religion. Both appeal to a segment of the populace that is largely powerless. Both are faith-based. Both are the result of fact, myth, legend and desire all folding in on each other.

Aliens may exist. But I'm pretty sure they have better things to do than visit you and your grandmother at your house on a slow night.

I dont really believe that ufos and aliens exist, i´d sure like to visit Roswell, though, seems like it´s a Mecca for nerds.

Anyone seen Fire in the Sky? I bought it recently, haven´t had time to watch it yet, though.It´s said to be really scary, and stuff.
post #46 of 55
Has anybody ever seen anything strange that didn't actually make sense to them? Maybe it was a liittle unsettling, maybe not. I think it would be fun to share stories on here.

I was on a subway in manhattan once on a sunday a few years back. It wasn't a busy line and there were only 3 or 4 people in the car I was in. There was a guy on the train who got off at one stop and I noticed because there were so few people around. He had a plastic bag and an orange shirt. The strange thing is that a few stops later this same exact guy got on the same exact train in the same exact car. It struck me as a little bit odd and I tried to figure out a way he could have done it and I can't. There were no other trains there for him to hop on and race ahead. there were no trains on an opposite track for him to hop on. There were no delays. The guy was a little older and kind of slow. It just didn't make sense any way I tried to sort it out.

Another time when I was in college I saw some UFOs. I say UFO in the sense that they were unidentified. I'm not saying they were alien spce ships or anything like that. I just didn't know what the hell I was seeing. I even remember the exact day. It was close to midnight on the night Fight Club opened. I saw it with my girlfriend and we were walking home. She saw the strange stuff too. So did some other random night walking pedestrian lady we bumped into. There were some weird lights in the sky that at first glance could have been mistaken for airplanes. First there was one going one direction then we noticed two more in our field of vision, each going in different directions. As we were watching we ruled out that they might be planes. They seemed to be sort of low in the sky, but even then they all moved MUCH quicker than a plane at that (apparent) altitude should move. Add on to that the fact that there were sometimes one light, sometimes 2, sometimes 3 kind of flickering on and off. The wierdest thing though is that as fast as they were moving there were a few times I noticed the lights flick off and then reappear BEHIND where they were but going in the same direction, and I even saw one pair of lights flip back in a little loop motion then keep on going as 1 light. It was really pretty strange and I still don't know exactly what it was. I'm liable to just say that the movie was messing with my head and causing me to see things. Fight Club was quite a trip. But I don't think so. Military stuff? Maybe.

I saw something very similar to that once, but was extremely skeptical at the time. Now I'm not so sure.

I have had a fear of Grays since I was a toddler. I remember thinking that they would abduct my baby sister, so I screamed and cried until my parents moved her bed away from the window.

But it was Close encounters that caused this fear, not cured it like it did with The Crovv. There is no way you can't tell me that the long limbed bastard coming out of the mother ship didn't have sinister intentions for poor Richard Dreyfuss. And the creepy little smile that the little gray gives after the "sign language interpretation"? Consider these pants shat.

And don't get me started on Fire in the Sky..... was that guy cut in half and still alive? What the hell was that miracle fabric that rendered Agent Doggett immobile? Ehhhhhh....don't poke that thing in his eye you bastards!

And then there is Communion, that movie made me even more scared of Grays AND Christopher Walken.


Black eyed bastards....


*BTW, I am the biggest skeptic in the world and you cannot convince me that things like Aliens, Angels, Demon posession, Magic,Osama Bin Laden, ghosts etc...etc exist*
